Well, it's about time! The Academy finally realized what's what last night when they awarded our beloved Alec Baldwin a well-deserved Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series. Take it from an office full of die-hard 30 Rock fans—the man is amazingly funny. And hey, take it from an office full of animal lovers—the man is one of the greatest friends to animals we know!
Alec—a vegetarian, by the way—has always donated his time and effort to fight for those who can't fight for themselves. Highlights of Alec's work for animals include hosting the premier screening of Blinders, a documentary that shows the cruel horse-drawn carriage industry for what it really is; recording a public service announcement for PETA in behalf of animals used in entertainment; pleading for compassion for animals who are used and abused in traveling acts; and going to Capitol Hill with PETA to address members of Congress and demand that the Humane Slaughter Act finally be enforced.
But, y'know, I think a lot of us love Alec most for his narration of PETA's slaughterhouse investigation video, "Meet Your Meat." His voice has inspired tens of thousands of people to stop eating animals—and more people watch the video every day!
Other Viewing Options
So congratulations, Mr. Baldwin, on your well-deserved Emmy award. All of us here at PETA are grateful for your years of dedicated advocacy, and we wish you continued happiness and success in the years ahead!

Alec, my husband and I absolutely adore you!!!! We are so thrilled at your WIN!!!! You so deserved this! Your passion and compassion is as beautiful as you are! My husband and I are still waiting for someday when you shall announce that you will be running for Congress.
The animals would all benefit!
Keep fighting the good fight for those who have no voice!

YAY FOR ALEC!!!
I have always rooted for this man as an actor, and now that he's shown an absolutely hilarious side to him in 30 Rock... I'm in love. AND the fact that he's a stauch vegan and animal rights supporter is icing on the cake.
Keep up the good work Alec!

Hello and congratulations Alec. You are a gift to animals everywhere. I used to love "Knot's Landing, and today I love 30R0CK. But it is the intensity in which you tireslessly speak out for animals, that defines you.
